Microblogging novel

A microblogging novel, also known as a micro novel, is a fictional work or novel written and distributed in small parts, commonly seen on social media platforms like Twitter or Facebook.[1] Compared to a traditional novels or novella, a micro novel can be written in short, interconnected lines or statements. For example, Twitter novels can be a series of tweets, within 280 characters per post,[2][3][4] while a Facebook novel[5] can be posted within 300 characters.

History

Micro novels are related to blog fiction, which is published in blog format.[6] Another related phenomenon is the cell phone novel where installments are sent out to readers via SMS; this type of publishing originated in Japan. Micro novels have also been known to be published through email. Similar manifestations include flash fiction, a work of fiction completed in 1000 words or less, where the publishing medium is irrelevant.
